9 Charlbury Grove Ealing W5 2DY

1. 1.The proposed Section 73 amendment to alter from rear dormer window to roof level balconies with associated French doors and privacy screens, by reason of their siting, design and visual prominence , would appear an incongruous addition to and would erode the established roofscapes within the immediate vicinity, which is a key component of the significance of the Mount Park Conservation Area. The development would result in harm to the character and appearance of the Conservation Area. In the absence of any public benefits to outweigh this harm, the proposal is considered unacceptable and contrary to Policies D3, D4 and HC1 of the London Plan (2021), Policies 7.4, 7B and 7C of the Ealing Development Management DPD (2013), Policy DAA of the Ealing Draft Local Plan, and the Generic Management Plan for Conservation Areas (2023).
2. 2.The proposed balconies, by reason of their siting, projection and elevated position, would result in overlooking, loss of privacy, and increased potential for noise and disturbance, leading to a detrimental impact on neighbouring residential amenity and the living conditions of existing and future occupants. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policies D3 and D4 of the London Plan (2021) and Policies 7B and 7C of the Ealing Development Management DPD (2013).

From the council's decision notice.
